Pumping Less and Less Help!

For the past month I have not been pumping as much. Every time I pump i'm getting less and less. I am starting to worry that when I am feeding my LO he won't be getting enough milk. He is 10 months old and I really hope to continue nursing until he is a year. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated

I only work part time, so I only pump once a day four days a week. M-Th. I pump when my LO would eat which is about 3 hours after I feed him before I leave for work. I would normally be able to pump 5-6 oz eachtime and now I am lucky if I am getting 2-3 oz. LO drinks 6.5 oz when I am away from him.

Pumping 1x in 6 hours is typically not enough for most women. Your body has probably gradually caught on to the fact that you're not stimulating your nipples very often and has adjusted accordingly. 5-6 oz. per pump session is a high output. I would say 2-4 is more normal. It's fairly likely that you're going to need to add another pumping session to stimulate your supply more. If that's not possible, you could try pumping at other times to make up for the discrepancy in the milk you're pumping while at work and what your LO needs.

It is also possible that your pump is losing suction as it ages. You could try replacing some of its parts (membranes, for example) or replacing the pump entirely. Another option would be to do more breast compressions to get more milk out.

Thanks for the advise, I will try adding another pumping session and see if that starts to help. I don't really want to buy a new pump since I only have 2 months to go, but I will also try replacing the membranes.
